Kunkel Company makes two products and uses a conventional costing system in which a single plantwide predetermined overhead rate

is computed based on direct labor-hours. Data for the two products for the upcoming year follow:
Mercon Wurcon
Direct materials cost per unit $ 10.00 $ 8.00
Direct labor cost per unit $ 3.00 $ 3.75
Direct labor-hours per unit 0.20 0.25
Number of units produced 10,000 40,000
These products are customized to some degree for specific customers.
Required:
1. The company's manufacturing overhead costs for the year are expected to be $336,000. Using the company's conventional costing system, compute the unit product costs for the two products.(Do not round intermediate calculation. Round your final answers to 2 decimal places.)

2. Management is considering an activity-based costing system in which half of the overhead would continue to be allocated on the basis of direct labor-hours and half would be allocated on the basis of engineering design time. This time is expected to be distributed as follows during the upcoming year:
Mercon Wurcon Total
Engineering design time (in hours) 4,000 4,000 8,000
Compute the unit product costs for the two products using the proposed ABC system.(Do not round intermediate calculation. Round your final answers to 2 decimal places.)

Answer:

Part 1

Computation of the unit product costs for the two products

                                                         Mercon              Wurcon

Direct materials cost per unit         $ 10.00               $ 8.00

Direct labor cost per unit                 $ 3.00                $ 3.75

Overheads                                         $5.60                 $7.00

Unit product cost                             $18.60               $18.75

<u>Calculation of overhead rate</u>

M = 0.20 × 10,000   = 2,000

W = 0.25 × 40,000 = 10,000

Total hours                       = 12,000

Rate = $336,000 ÷  12,000

        = $28.00

Part 2

Overhead rate for direct labor-hours

Rate = $168,000 ÷ 12,000

        = $14.00

Overhead rate for engineering design time

Rate = $168,000 ÷ 8,000

        = $21.00

Computation of the unit product costs for the two products

                                                         Mercon              Wurcon

Direct materials cost per unit         $ 10.00               $ 8.00

Direct labor cost per unit                 $ 3.00                $ 3.75

Overheads - labor hrs                       $2.80                 $3.50

Overheads - eng time                       $8.40                  $2.10

Unit product cost                             $24.20               $17.35

fenix001 [56]

Answer:So far we have learned to measure real GDP, but how do we end up with that real GDP? Of all of the different amounts of national income and price levels that might exist, how do we gravitate toward the one that gets measured each year as real GDP?

In short, it is the interaction of the buyers and producers of all output that determines both the national income (real GDP) and the price level. In other words, the intersection of aggregate demand (AD) and short-run aggregate supply (SRAS) determines the short-run equilibrium output and price level.

Once we have a short-run equilibrium output, we can then compare it to the full employment output to figure out where in the business cycle we are. If current real GDP is less than full employment output, an economy is in a recession. If current real GDP is higher than full employment output, an economy is experiencing a boom. If the current output is equal to the full employment output, then we say that the economy is in long-run equilibrium. Output isn’t too low, or too high. It’s just right.

Suppose an economy is modeled with a production possibilities frontier or curve (PPF) for butter (vertical axis) vs. guns (horiz
Nonamiya [84]

Answer: B - a general improvement in technology affecting production of all goods

Explanation: The Production Possibility Frontier is a curve that shows the two combination of goods an economy can produce when all its factors of production are efficiently used.

Technological progress shifts the curve outward, away from the origin as more output would be produced using the same combination of factor inputs.

Shifting of resources from butter to gun would lead to movements along the curve as more gun would be produced and less butter.

Pacifism becoming less popular which increases gun production, would cause movement along the curve.

Increase in consumer desire for butter increase the amount of butter produced . This would generate a movement along the curve

DiKsa [7]

If consumers' surplus is $30 and the price paid for the good is $50, then the maximum price a buyer is willing and able to pay for the good is $20. To solve for this question, subtract the surplus amount of $30 and the actual price paid of $50 together. Consumer surplus is defined as the difference in the amount of money that a consumer is willing to pay vs what they actually pay for a good or service.
